Aa you' most know, as yen do know, tbe innocent blood of working men, of their wives, and their children of tender age will henmfocthaud-,for, ever separate you, their assassin, and tlAs Russian people. Never will the moral tie between the people L and you be renewed. Yoa will noJonger be able to curb by any half measure, or even by the protrise of the States-General, the flood of popular feeling now furioasly swollen. Bombs, dynamite, collective and individual terrorism, and insurrection wait all the assassins of the people,despoiled of their rights. I tell yoa this. and so it shall be. Waves of blood such as per. haps have nowhere else been seen will be poured out on account of you. Russia herself will perish. Try to understand it once for all, and remember, it. Renounce, then, as soon as possible, with all your family, the throne of Russia, and appear before the tribunal of the Russian public. Have pity-on your children, have pity on the countries of the Empire, you who offered peace to other nations and slaughtered your own." In a postscript Father Gapon adds, Know that this letter is the document justifying inci- dents of revolution and terrorism, which will not fail to occur in Russia." In an appeal to tbe Russian people Father Gapon congratulates the working men on the heroism they have displayed in beginning the ravolution from which- the happiness and liberty of Russia must spring. He bids them not to be discouraged, and not to be taken in by pro- mises of the assassin Czar or his ignoble Minis telS. 11 The victory," he says, "is near.ifthe Russian pecpio show a united front without distinction of classes or creeds or race. Call to your aid men of action, have done with chatterers, and occapy yourselves at once with the propaganda and tbe organisation of armeel insurrection. Join hands with the soldiers and the Cossacks, despite the Holy Synod, and do not listen to the priests. Organise fitting battalions of working men, do not give the accursed Government—that band of briganda and aBsaBtins of the people-time to collect its forces, but shoot the masters, the chiefs and officers of tho police, governors, gen- darmes, uardB, and officers who give orders to shoot you, and do not forgot armed demonatra- tions, local insurrection, and strikes. Know that all measures hava bean taken in order that you mav have in time all sorts of arms in sufficient numbets, including dynamite." Father Gapon bids the Russian people rise as one man at a signal from the Committee of Defence. "atop the life of the cities," he saya, by destroying the water mains, gas pipes, tele- phone and telegraph wires, tramways and rail- ways, Government buildings, and prisons, but respect private property. He announces that the plan of tho general in- surrection will be worfted out as soon as possible by the Committee of Defence, in order to realise the abolition of autocracy, the institution of a provisional revolutionary Government, and the imcaediate summoning of a constituent assembly on the basis of universal suffrage. Victory and vengeance," ha says, are near." He promises to come to join the working men when the supreme moment arrives.—Renter.

At its full strength it numbers only ¡ a thousand, whereas the population of the city is 800,000, and includes 4.000 known hooli- gans and criminals of tbe most desperate class. Reports are current to-day that the murders are to be continued until the number of police- men killed equals the total number of civilians slain daring the disturbances in January.

Lord Milner Resigns. I Johannesburg, Tuesday. -The Rand Mail" 1 to-day announces tbe resignation of Lord Mil- nor. The Imperial Government, it is added, has net acknowledged his Lordship's resignation, which was cabled to London on February 18th. Lord Milner proposes leaving his post one month I bence.-Central News. The Press Association says the anoimeement that Lord Milner has tendered his resignation as High Commissioner in South Africa is accurate, although there is some reason to doubt the details as to dates, &c, which are attached to that announcement. It is understood that the subject was before the Cabinet in some form at its meeting on Tuesday, but the step has occasioned no surprise to tbe Government as it had been discounted by foreknowledee-ou their part. At the Colonial Office on Tuesday afternoon and at other Government bealquarters it was tacitly admitted that Lord Milner was leaving, but nothing more definite was vouch- safed except that an official announcement would be made on the subject in dae coarse." There is reason to believe that the Government has made good use of the timely intimation of Lord Milner's intention, and that they will be prepared with a successor. Lord Milner's Successor. The C3lonial_ Office on Wednesday issued the following :—"Viscount Milner has resigned his I office as High Commissioner in South Africa ,and,adminiau-ator of the Transvaal and Orange KSverColonies for reasons connected with his statoof health, and will leave Sooth Afric&at the end of Marcb. His Majesty the King has been pleasedto approve of the appointment of the Earl of Sel- borne to succeed to Lord Milner in the above- mentioned office.

Merthyr Incorporation. PETITIONERS' OBJECTIONS. The Urban Council Resolute. A meeting of the Incorporation Committee of Merthyr Urban District Council was held on Wednesday. Mr F.. SYdney Simons presiding. The cierk (Mr Anenrin Rees) read a letter from Messrs Newton and Song, solicitors, acting on behalf of Nixon's *!j»vigation Colliery Co. and the Ocean Colliery bo., stating that the services of Mr W. B. Keens, chartered accountant, had been retained in order that certain information from the Qonncil'e books showing the state of affairs between the Merthyr District Conncil and the Merthyr VlLle Ward, for the purpose of supplying the Committee of the tioluseol Lords with information dealing with the Bill before Parliament for the incorporation of Merthyr. The ChairmaD said besaw no objection to grant- ing the facilities asked for, and Mr Andrew Wilaon moved that the application be granted. The Chairman said another matter for con- sideration was wbat action they should take with regard to the Bill now being promoted by the Privy Council- There bad been some-oppo- sition, but it was of a trifling nature. The first objection raised by the petitioners was that no separate local authority having tho necessary governing powsra was created for the Merthyr Vale Ward. This was an old bogey. A farther objection was the transference of powers, pro- perty, and dntiee of the Council to a Borough Council. He could not understand what reason there was for that. Objection was also raised to the transference of any portion of the district fnnd and general 'district rate to the new borough fund nod rate when a Corporation was created. This really meant that objection waa raised to ri" ilways and 3therproperties being rated at their fall vale. The rector of Merthyr also objected to the tithes beinji rated at their full value, bat the speaker did not think that objection woald benefit him. The next objection was that tbe inhabitants of Merthyr ware not sufficiently chihsed to be governed by maDioi- pal methods, bnt; Ought to remain under the direction of a ]:)iatt-t Council. Mr David E va118 Ot civilised ? Mr D. W. Jones: is that the word 9 Mr Simons *.s m.y owv- am fii'ioR you the pith oftn6 objection. Proceeding, he eaid that the next objection wis that the water- works should be transferred to a Corporation. although he coull no understand to whom it was proposed to transfer them. There was ob- jection also to authority being given them to carry on manicipal trading. The scheme pro- vided with regard to education that the exist- ing scheme should nuaiu in force until anew one had been prepared, by the Borough Council. The objectors were against this, saying they did not want anything better, which was a great compliment. This was the subatanco of the list of objections to tbe scheme, and it; meant that the ratepayers woald have to incur a cost of 12,000 in carrying ta scheme through. There was an Act which provided that the Prrvy Conn- cil baa the power to order the expanses to fall upon the rates. The object of the meeting was to-conBider what steps should be taken to sup- port the Bill. v Mr D. W. Jones movei a resolution to the effect that the clerk be authorised to take steps to co-operate in the promotion of the bill. The Council, he added, bad been qnito unanimous. Mr Gray I beg yoarpgtdon, I did not vote for it. Mr Jones You were not present, and did not, therefore, vote against it. Mr Jeoe3 (continuing) said he felt sare the Council would be utjanimons that day in support- ing tho resolntiou. no' think that any proposal of this o»tnre bad been so virulently opposed by colliery proprietors in the district before, and it Was gnite clear they did not care what expense they Put the peupleto, and it was a great shame that the ratepayers, should be pat to such expense bv the action of the two com- panies. Still, as they were determined, the Council on their part imut be equally determined -in supporting the scheme. Mr J. M. Berry seconded, also observing that it was a great ahame that this expenditure had been pat od them, for it was <lnitc- cleat that Merthjr was bound to have the charter. He was surprised that the petitioners against the scheme did not take the result of the battle in a fair spirit. Mr Gray moved an amendment to the effect ,that no action be taken, but there was no seconder, and the original motion waa carried.

Although he had not been at his office (Main Colliery Co., Neath) for three months, be in the retirement of his home attended up to last week to all his busi- ness affairs with bis accustomed punctuality and accuracy. His business connections were very numerous and important, and in the coal trade his name was well-known throughout South Wales, the West country, Ireland, and the North of France. Tbedeeeased gentleman was a son of the late Mr Edward Ackland Moore, who was a brother of the late Mis Gwyn, of Dyffryn. He thus belonged to the Devonshire family of Moores. Mr Edward Ackland Moore, on settling in Wales, embarked in colliery enterprises, entering into partnership with tbe late Mr John Thomas, of Conrt Herbert. In the course of t 1 I Mr John Newall Moore, J.P. I

years an amalgamation was sffected of the fol- lowing undertakings -Tbe Dynevor Coal Co,, the Neath Abbey Coal Co., and the Dyffryn Main Colliery Co., with Mt JohnN. Moore as managing director of the joint enterprise, which was styled the Dynevor Coal Co. Upon further changes taking place Mr Newall Moore continued to hold an important position in connection with what is now the Main Colliery Co., a large enter- prise. The deceased married a cousin, Miss tullen Moore, daughter of the Rev. Moore, for many years vicar of Buckland, near Parringdon, Berkshire. His married life was brief. He was a widower for 21 years. His deceased wife waa L-ister to Mr J. E. Moore Gwyn, of Dyffryn. He has left onaeon and one daughter.

He waa at one time regarded as the prospective Conservative candi- date for the division named. A gentle-nan who delighted in finding outlets for his charity, the poor by his death Joses a firm and true friend. He was a gentleman of engagjvg disposition and great amiability. His death will be deplored by large nnmbei's of all classes to whom he was greatly endeared. Mr Morgan Prctheroe, Cardiff.

SOUTH GLAMORGAN. MR BRACE AT LLANTWIT MAJOR. An enthusiastic meeting in support of Mr W. Brace. Labour candidate for South Glamorgan, was held at the Town Hall, Llantwit Major, on Monday evening. Councillor T. W. David pre- sided, and among others present were the Rev. T. H Jenkins, Thomas Morgan, and Councillor Morgan Thomas. The Chairman dealt with the financial position ct the country, and said the time had come for dissolution of Parliament, thus giving the people she opportunity to express their view. Mr Brade, after dealing with the education question, Sooth African affairs, and the Brewers'Endowment Act, dealt with the abnormal expenditure of this Government, and answered the cry that the Tory Government should be kept in power because of their belief in maintaining a strong Navy. Ho had 1>0 hesita- tion in affirming an equal belief in a strong Navy with any supporter of this or any other Tory Government, and would always support a policy maintaining the Navy sufficiently effec- tive to meet successfully any, likely combinations of other nations. (Cheers.) Bat at a time like the present, when the country was groaning noder an enormous burden of taxation, it would assuredly be through no want of patriotism that one would claim tho right to direct attention to the exces- sive expenditure of the Army and Navy Depart- ments. When Britain was operating upon a foreign policy of isolation, it was considered by leading authoritias a sufficient safeguard to the nation's interest to maintain the Navy upon a double-Power standard, bat instead of following out that policy this Administration bad exceeded this standard considerably, and thus, in bis judg. ment, thev were taxing the nation very much heavier than was required for natiocjfel-defence. The Russian Navy had practically been wiped out. and we had an alliance with powerful Japan, and if this alliance was not to count for some- thing. in keeping down naval expenditure to norma point, one was forced to ask of what value was it to Britain. (Cheers.) A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the speakers. "t"
